Ground White Peppercorns

  • Global Flavor
  • Pantry Staple
  • Quality

White peppercorns are the same vine-fruits as black ones. After harvesting, however, they are soaked in water to remove their outer skin, giving them a slightly fermented taste prized by Japanese cooks. White ground pepper adds heat without changing the appearance of a dish. This ground Sarawak white pepper is also available in Whole White Peppercorns.

About This Product

These are Sarawak white peppercorns, from the Malaysian island of Borneo. White peppercorns are soaked in water to remove the black outer shell. Their flavor, while still distinctly peppery, is quite different from that of black peppercorns. The soaking gives these white peppercorns a mellow, slightly fermented taste. White pepper is strongly preferred over black pepper in European and Southeast Asian kitchens. In this country we consume about twelve times as much black pepper as white, while in Europe the ratios are reversed. Ground white pepper virtually disappears in most dishes, allowing the introduction of fine flavor without marring the presentation of light-colored sauces and dishes. While grinding whole peppercorns as needed is the best way to get peak flavor, we also offer a finely ground white pepper.

Review Summary

Customers love the fragrant aroma, gentle heat, and mild, slightly sweet bite that adds depth without bitterness. Many say it makes a noticeable difference when used instead of black pepper, especially in white sauces, gravies, poultry, pasta, egg salad, and Asian dishes. The fine grind and robust flavor help recipes taste more polished and balanced.

White Pepper

One thing I’ve learned from purchasing many jars of spices from SH is that they are crafted so well that sometimes I need just a small amount to get the seasoning I want, like the white pepper. So good.

White Pepper was definitely white pepper

Got multiple emails requesting a review for white pepper ordered from Spice House. I can confirm it met expectations nothing more, nothing less. If you're in the market for white pepper, this clearly meets the definition.
